Is hid worth it without projectors?
I really have a hard time seeing at night and im ready to pull the trigger on a philips 4300k kit for 375 shipped. I did some searches on this site and some others, some people love it, and then theres a couple people saying its crap without projectors. the question is, is it worth it, is the light output that much better?

The light output is incredibly better. However, without projectors the light is scattered and is not going to give you the best visibility possible (in terms of distance and direction). Even so, the light will still be much brighter/clearer than stock and will definitely help you out on the road. It's just others that might get pissed at you with those HID's scattering your light into their eyes.

Some really good info in this thread. IMO, HIDs without the proper setup is a nuisance.

There is also a link there on how to make your own sealed-beam conversion units.

ok i saw my friends 4300 kit tonight, and it was surprisingly nice, the light didnt seem to have those bright spots, but he also adjusted his lights, maybe people dont adjust them, but they seemed pretty good, i wouldve liked to see an OEM equipped car next to his to compare but the light output was like OEM HID
